Jacki Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 Really disappointing result today and it is incredibly frustrating. Our away form is going to cost us a play off spot I fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_BCFC Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 My god that was bad. Korey had a shocker! Kelly was ok and Magnússon at least bounced back. Djuric looked ok too. Everything else... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garland-sweden Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 Ok, clean sheet and one point, but the team did play slowly and with no ideas. We were lucky that Burton not scored in the first half. We dont take many points but still we can be top six, that is good. If I was Eliasson and not start next game, I would think, what is this? We played. , Kent, Paterson, Brownhill, nothing happens and we rarely wins. At least Eliasson can put good balls in to the box. Im sure he will find Famaras or Djuric head with his passes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With this result, our draw at Burton looks even more frustrating. Only positives today: Baker fit (I suppose) and Djuric back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dolman Pragmatist Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 If someone had offered you all three points off the play-offs with nine games to play, you’d have taken it. A point, a clean sheet, still in with a shout of the play-offs, above a number of teams who were expected to be above us this season, a young team, a young manager, 20,000 gates every week, players coming back from injury - can’t see much wrong myself. COYR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COYR. You're not wrong but I still have the feeling that given the excellent first half of the season, it could have been so much better during 2018 and we would have had rather more than just a shout of the play-offs. What that would have meant for next season is another matter though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The form is not great, but we can still make the playoffs with a decent run, and if not then there is the opportunity to play some of the younger players, the Engvalls, Eliassons, Walsh, Kelly etc without fear of relegation.

You also did not answer - at the end of December when we looked comfortable in the playoffs - would you have settled for this type of form - 2 wins in 12 ? because I will call you out for it if "yes" is anywhere near your lips.

Offside Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 Disappointing result today, but our level of performance is more of a concern. Although we are still close to the play offs we are looking far away from being a top six side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to think that there is something dodgy going on and hates SL with a passion for some reason - perhaps HL sold him a financial product he isn`t happy with or something, who knows. My personal favourite was this comment; `Be assured Mr Lansdown, we will have you out of this club` from a couple of years ago. I`ve not taken him seriously since then.

Personally, I don't know how you can consider your attitude as 'support'. Ive attended since the mid sixties, my grandfather cycled up to games from Shipham, my dad wasn't interested in football, just to let you know my City heritage. Wheres the examples of positivity?
